“Grass Grows in the Icebox” featuring Stamps community members opens in Ypsilanti

Grass Grows in the Icebox, curated by recent MFA graduate and Lecturer Nathan Byrne (MFA ​‘21), opens at Soft Projects in Ypsilanti on September 23. An opening reception will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The collaborative exhibition features Stamps faculty and alums, and addresses pressing environmental issues. 

Grass Grows in the Icebox is grounded in an exploration of the intricate relationship between eco-art and absurdity. It brings together a diverse group of artists who address environmental concerns while infusing a sense of jest into their work, resulting in a collection that ranges from the subtly humorous to the outright irreverent.
